When it comes to abortion law it seems dependent upon state,
An extreme example right now is TX.
(I think that will be overturned soon but it is still there for now.)
For the rest of the states some are some are not.

For immigration, the US has much higher figured if you add it all together. US also offers many more way to move there.
If you look at asylum however the US takes in 0.02% per population per year. Whereas Norway has taken over 0.7% per year.
The US population is made up of 14% vs Norway at 15% immigrants
The immigrant population in Norway is far more diverse than it is to the US.

Minimum wage is true, in that the US has one and Norway does not.
However the negotiated wages between the unions and the business sector have been "almengjøring" which means they dictate what wages need to be, even when the company you work for is not a direct part and even if you as an employee do not belong to a union.
That is backed by Norwegian law
This is per sector. Most sectors now have it
Some dont.
Where it does exist, it is far higher than the US minimum wage.
You cannot live on minimum wage in the US.
So it is below what is reasonable and humane.
A big problem is in the construction business were the builders love to hire Eastern European migrants for a lot less than what the law dictators. This is illegal but very common
As far as taxation goes I dont have time right now to really dig into it. I know I pay about 42% taxes on my income.
25% VAT on most things, but there are exceptions, for healthy food and many other things.
I paid a lot less in the US :)
